I received a job offer 2 days ago for a weld tech position. I'm currently an automation tech( practically the same thing), and had an interview and checked the place out, they told me they'd let me know.
Today they offered me about 1.40 more per hour than what I'm currently making, which isn't bad, bit curious of how to word it to attempt to earn more
I'd be walking away from 5 years at my current employer, 3 weeks vacation (start with 2 at the new place), benefits are extremely similar. My big sell to go there is the opportunity to obtain a journeymans card.
So, long story short, what's a great way to word an email to attempt to bargain for a higher starting pay?
